I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I have recently re-loaded XWA (I have the version from the collectors edition) and the game will load up and I can start my first mission fine. Unfortunately about when Aeron announces that she is picking up the container of coolant (Xi 1 I believe) the game freezes.
Here is my system:
XP SP2
PIV 2.66gig
1gig of RAM
GeForce 6600 w/ForceWare 169.21 drivers
120gig Hard Drive
Audigy One sound card
Again I apologize for the inconvenience if this has been rehashed more than once but I would appreciate some help.
You could try updating your sound card's drivers. If that doesn't work, I suggest a post on the LucasArts tech support forums (
